The Thin Red Line is one of my most favorite movies. I just think it captures the psychological impact of war, the beauty of the planet and the essence of humanity. It’s been too long since I’ve watched it.

So maybe I should have bought that cowl neck scarf I was talking about a few weeks ago, because it wound up snowing NINE FREAKING inches in Dallas! This pic is of trees in my yard. I stayed home from work for two days. The first day I laid in bed and played Bejeweled and chatted. The second day I got stuff done. It was a nice break…

“I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this, and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.”

The latest gocco project - my sister’s wedding invites! She is big into lace, and the wedding colors are navy and white/creams, so we went with a lace border on one side. In hindsight, I should not have trimmed the paper before printing since I needed to do bleed… but 2 days of working into the night after my day job and hundreds of scraps of paper later, they are done! Next up is the program, but I’m still waiting on her for content…

“
Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone every once in a while. Whether it’s skydiving or eating a pig’s eyeball or public speaking, do something that makes your heart race, your palms sweat and your breath quicken. You don’t have to do this every day, but do it. The more you challenge yourself before you die, the fuller your life will be.
